Hah.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, I like your insightful point on how many calls are simply computers talking to computers. The future is now, I guess.

Though I have had to change mine at work because they sounded too, well lets just say escortish. Not the message just the way I delivered it. I changed mine at home for that once too since my mom even said I sounded too sensual. Guess that is better than sounding like a bear or something!<BR/>So what do you have now?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9454941.post-1169767441205003362007-01-25T18:24:00.000-05:002007-01-25T18:24:00.000-05:00Sage: What a funny post.
